2. Chew gum while cooking - it will help to keep you from snacking.

3. Eat fiber throughout the day - it will help you stay full longer and faster.

4. Eat raisins - it will help you burn more fat. Add them to cereal and salads.

5. Dance while you dress - by adding some extra moves to your daily habits you can burn off more calories.

7. Don’t empty your plate - leave some food behind to cut down on portions. Making small changes can prevent overeating.

8. Avoid alcoholic beverages - drinking alcohol causes you to burn less fat. Drinking cold water instead will kick start your metabolism.

9. Get 10,000 steps a day - buy a pedometer and see how many steps you are walking per day. If you are not walking 10,000 steps, find a way to increase your walking.

10. Workout outdoors - If you are used to going to the gym, switch up your routine and workout outdoors.
